Chapter 256: Windfall
After discussing these, Shi Bin and Jia Rudao discussed the order of visiting these three people. However, this is easy to come to the answer, first go to Lin'an to visit Wu Qian, then go to Sichuan to visit Yu Yu, and finally go to visit Shi Songzhi, who lives at home.
Although it is very troublesome to toss back and forth, the reason is very simple, now that Zheng Qingzhi is in Lin'an, he has to give himself insurance in front of the emperor first, otherwise he will fall behind, even if the three allies support Jia Yidao and Shi Bin at that time, it will be difficult to have the expected effect, let alone turn this crisis into an opportunity.
Therefore, as soon as they got Jia Yidao's handwritten letter, Shi Bin and the others turned around and left without staying in Jia's mansion for more than half a moment.
As soon as he left the city, Jia Ling, who was galloping wildly, suddenly stopped, and Shi Bin, who felt the change, also slowed down, but now he can't tolerate the slightest hesitation and procrastination, every second counts, Jia Ling's behavior made him puzzled.
Knowing why Shi Bin looked at him suspiciously, Jia Ling smiled softly and said, "Don't you think we forgot an important thing from the beginning?" ”
Of course Shi Bin couldn't understand such a clueless sentence, and now that the time was urgent, he was in no mood to think about it, so he naturally urged Jia Ling to talk nonsense and say the answer directly.
is also a person who knows how powerful, Jia Ling does not pretend, "We ran from Dingzhou City but forgot the two key people who caused this problem." Without them, wouldn't our empty words and a letter from our father not carry enough weight to achieve the goal? ”
It turned out that it was Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi, the two troublemakers, and Shi Bin was a little angry when Jia Ling first mentioned these two people. But after thinking about it, it will indeed be useful to take these two people to Wu Qian, Shi Songzhi and Yu Juena, especially for Wu Qian, who doesn't know the details of Li Yuxi but wants to resist Yuan.
"Xu Feng, you don't have to follow me and Jia Ling. Return to Dingzhou quickly and bring Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi to Lin'an, the sooner the better! Shi Bin thought of this and immediately ordered.
Xu Feng is very neat, Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi are good at riding horses, and Shi Bin and his wife have already caught up with them in less than ten days after setting off from Ezhou.
Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi, who saw Shi Bin from afar, were both depressed, without the slightest joy of being newly married, like two children who had made a big mistake. Li Yuxi was okay, he could still walk towards Jia Ling after getting off the horse, but Zhao Gang didn't dare to take a step forward after getting off the horse.
Naturally, we can't let the situation go on like this, and we can't let Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi, the newlywed couple, feel guilty at the beginning, which is very bad.
So Shi Bin ran in front of the two of them 'happily' and said with a smile, "Zhao Gang, Li Yuxi, what's wrong with you, why are you crying and sad?" Did Xu Feng misconvey my words and cause you to misunderstand? Then he 'explained' to Zhao Gang: "Master Jia and I both think that Li Yuxi can be of great help to my Great Song Dynasty, so we are going to take her to Beijing to meet Lord Wu Qian, so as to consolidate the anti-Yuan front." Without her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate with Wu Qian. ”
Seeing that he had become a scapegoat, Xu Feng was a little unhappy, but he also understood the power, so he said: "My lord, it was the villain who misunderstood what the adult meant, the villain thought that they had caused trouble to the adult, and the villain was wrong, so please forgive Commander Zhao and Princess Yuxi." They all understood that this was just a play, just so that Zhao Gang and Li Yuxi could have a step down, and the two of them naturally wouldn't really kick their noses in the face, and immediately said that they reacted too much and made a misunderstanding.
Perhaps because of such courtesy, Li Yuxi became more humble and began to call herself a 'little woman', although Li Biao was a little uncomfortable, he could accept it. After all, the big trouble caused was also related to Li Yuxi, Shi Bin not only did not have the slightest anger, but also did not treat each other politely, they must indeed be humble.
And Li Yuxi hesitated again after chatting, and finally said, "My lord, the little girl wants to tell you something..."
Shi Bin was not used to Li Yuxi calling herself a 'little woman', and after listening to her a few times, he interrupted her words, "Yuxi, you are my brother's wife, why do you call yourself a 'little woman' again?" Doesn't that seem too raw? Seeing that Li Yuxi was still hesitant and didn't want to change his name, Shi Bin feigned anger and said: "Yuxi, do you regret marrying Zhao Gang?" If you regret it, then I will let Zhao Gang retire, if you don't regret it, then call me big brother! ”
Naturally, he would not be fooled by this little trick, but he couldn't help but carefully consider Shi Bin's words, "Yes, the younger brother and sister will listen to the eldest brother." ”
The turn was very fast, Shi Bin was very happy, so he immediately continued: "Yuxi, you just said that you still have something to tell me, I don't know what it is?" Looking at you, this seems to be a big deal. ”
"No, big brother, it's not very big, but it's also a little important." Li Yuxi said softly.
As soon as he heard this, Shi Bin immediately came to his senses. Li Yuxi said that he could control most of the things, and some important things could increase the bargaining chips when negotiating with Wu Qian and others after entering Beijing. So he hurriedly asked, "Yuxi, please hurry up, is this matter related to going to the capital to unite Lord Wu Qian?" ”
"Yes."
"Really?" Shi Bin asked ecstatically.
"Yes." Li Yuxi affirmed again.
This time, Shi Bin was completely relieved, and secretly sighed that he was fortunate that he was not stupid to let Li Yuxi carry the black pot, so he carefully asked about the specific situation of the matter.
"Big brother, you also know that I am a member of the Western Xia royal family, and I have access to some confidential information. I hid a few documents in one place, and that was very helpful against meta. ”
Now Li Yuxi's feeling to Shi Bin is no longer like a polite princess, nor like a heroine, but more like a female spy leader, her eyes are full of evil spirits. She has already established a spy organization, of course, she is not surprised by Li Yuxi's changes, not to mention that if she is a weak woman without intelligence support, it is impossible for her to survive on the territory of the Yuan people with these hundreds of internal guards.
Although she was not very happy that Li Yuxi was hiding it from him like this, Shi Bin still admired her city government very much, she did not hand over this top-secret document at the beginning of the surrender, but honestly attacked Guangyuan to make a nomination. Until he married Zhao Gang, he hadn't handed it over, and it wasn't until now that he found out that his eldest brother would not abandon her at will.
"Are you talking about the dark stakes you left in the north?" Shi Bin asked.
"The eldest brother is powerful, he is indeed a righteous man who is willing to stay loyal to my party, if it were not for their little sister, I would not be able to move around Tianshui."
"This is natural, otherwise you wouldn't know the Yuanren grain route so clearly. Big brother, I wanted to ask, but I was too busy to find time, but now you took the initiative to say it, and I am very happy. ”
"Big brother, don't be happy, don't resent my little sister, I'm very happy if I think too deeply." Li Yuxi replied a little embarrassed.
At this time, the air makes people feel fresh, and people no longer feel so depressed and tired, Zhao Gang, who was stunned, actually yawned and stretched his waist, completely ignoring that he was actually talking about very important things at the moment.
Seeing that Zhao Gang didn't know how to restrain Li Yuxi glared at him fiercely, it seemed that he was a strict wife, and Li Yuxi's glance made him return to seriousness.
"Then what are the specific contents of these documents?" Shi Bin asked.
"It's a hidden list, dozens of hidden warehouses, and a structural map of several important cities." Li Yuxi said with a little pride.
Seeing her performance, Shi Bin asked tentatively, "These things were brought out of the palace by my younger brother and sister?" ”
"Yes, big brother. I took it from the secret room of my father's study. I wanted to take more and more useful ones, but in an emergency, I could only take a few indiscriminately. I hope these will have a practical effect on Big Brother Anti-Yuan. Li Yuxi said modestly.
How can any of this be useless? It's useful. A lurking list alone is worth at least 100,000 soldiers, dozens of hidden warehouses are even more useful, and the structural maps of those important cities are also very useful. If the Song Dynasty really wanted to recover the Central Plains, things would be much easier with the assistance of these.
The pie that fell from the sky smashed Shi Bin and his gang to pieces, and Shi Bin and Jia Ling, who were still thinking about how to make Wu Qian cooperate, are now full of confidence.
"But big brother, please don't blame me for speaking badly, your Great Song Dynasty is the same rotten wood as my Xixia, and the little sister only trusts you alone, I don't approve of letting people know all this information."
This is slapping his Da Song mouth in front of him, Shi Bin is of course unhappy in his heart, but Li Yuxi is telling the truth, in order to succeed in resisting Yuan, you must not care about these words, but you must not pretend not to care. So Shi Bin smiled unabashedly wryly, "Indeed." The repeated defeats of my Great Song Dynasty are due to internal reasons, not how powerful the Yuan people are. I agree with you, even when we go to Lord Wu, we will only say part of it, what do you think? ”
"Okay, I agree with Big Brother." Li Yuxi said.
Jia Ling, who was ecstatic on the side, suddenly spoke, "Then what do you think is better to let Lord Wu know?" Is it a lurking list or a tectonic map? This has to be carefully considered, knowing that one careless person will lose a lot. However, those dozens of secret warehouses must not be let know, so we have to keep them for ourselves. ”
Jia Ling's reminder attracted the attention of Shi Bin and Li Yuxi, she was well-known to be shrewd, and of course her words had to be carefully considered.
"Xiaoling, what do you think is more appropriate for Lord Wu to know?" Shi Bin knew that he was far inferior to Jia Ling in accounting, so he didn't say much and asked directly.
I didn't expect Shi Bin to be so lazy, and as soon as the words came out, he threw the question back, but fortunately, Jia Ling was already enthusiastic and had a plan, so he naturally took over the problem. "I think at most Lord Wu should know about some of the hidden personnel, but the secret warehouse and city structure map can't let him know. It's best not to let anyone know about it again except for the few people you have now. ”
Of course, Shi Bin understood the meaning of Jia Ling's words, and it would not be a big problem to lose one or two of the lurkers. But once the city structure map is leaked, someone will come to fight for this great achievement, and even take advantage of this trouble to frame him. The Yuan people will immediately strengthen the relevant defenses, making them counterproductive.
In order to prevent Zhao Gang from getting into big trouble for Shi Bin if he didn't understand clearly, Jia Ling and Li Yuxi explained to him in detail, and asked him to participate in the discussion to make sure that he understood before relenting.
